Ian Hatcher
patents growing
imbibing newness with each breath
amid blood red leaves && lean-tos teething
patent this symbol
patent this youth skin symbol
splaying dry blades of torch grass grafting
shapely palm flecks outstretched && withholding
patent mysticism
patent this liminal crystal truisms
oily patches gleam in dreams unknowable
parlor cluster sweetmeats consumed by the fistful
patent swollen rivers of fat
patent this fat
trust inviolate always inviable
producing ever-accelerating vitals && redialing
patent high-frequency recombination
patent destrangulation
seedlings rising aglow with promise
stalks tasting perfectly familiar && sweet
patent neo-dynamicism
patent apollonian fetishism
low-limbed truths climb up them to sing
love is record profits && growth
patent this trope
newly bred beds of adaptive whip fibers
sublimely lying in fields ripening
patent every possible pattern of welts
patent cells
